LONDON (Reuters) - Britain said on Thursday it would work with Albania to quickly process and repatriate the large number of Albanians who cross the English Channel in small boats, after a surge in the number of such migrants despite a plan to deport arrivals to Rwanda.

The number of people arriving in Britain in small boats hit a record for a single day on Monday.
